The good news is I successfully installed a new carb, changed the oil pan gasket and have no leaks, and got the valves adjusted. All of this is new knowledge to me. The bad news is I have a coolant leak on a hose that I think may be discontinued… Using this thread I think I need hose 87245A...

New member here. Long time lurker. Found our June 76 on this site almost two years ago. From Chula Vista,CA and a mud member. Very happy to have. Mostly stock. Could use a front passenger fender, honest patina. This rig should ring a few bells here.. the fender is recognizable. Did...

Looking to order a bolt on ready head replacement this week for my 95 series. Seems like a few reliable options out of Australia - the one I have been in communication with is Mr Cylinder Head. Looking for some advice: 1) Mr Cylinder Head in general: anyone had any bad experiences? The kit...

2004 lx470 stock AHC Found a killer deal on 285/70r18’s Will the fit at stock height!

So, i was able to get rid of this code for 6 months, of course now its back, before i had fixed connector to MAF, both o2 sensors, and rear knock sensor and fuel filter, i got it to turn off for 6 months, now its back, kinda weird tho, I reset it on a hunting trip and it went away for like 200...

Alright, I need some help with my 3FE. Its smoking white sweet smoke really badly. Ill start with a story for context. Wife and I drove her 80 series out to Sequim WA from Tacoma WA, about 117 miles one way. It was our first long drive in the Cruiser. Id finally finished my list of tune up and...

Greetings All, Given the posts about “how much did you pay?”, or “how much to pay?” for a LC 200 Series—I will say that I 100% agree with Mr. DeMuro’s assessment. I have never understood the willingness to get smoked via “market adjustments”, nor the concept of 72 and gasp—84 month car loans...

A little back story, Truck was bought in California and now has 317,000 miles on it. Been a good performing vehicle, rust free but paint that was peeling. A few years ago the 10amp fuse in the relay block in the engine compartment blew and I lost all interior lights and the radio. New fuse and...

Hi togehter. Since i'm already spamming the what-did-you-do-with-your-80-thread with pictures i came to the conclusion that i should start a build thread. About me: I'm currently 25, service engineer for agricultual machinery/automated milking and feeding, living in the countryside near...

Hello all. New to the forum Semi new to these trucks. I purchased this truck back in 2015 or 2016 I don’t remember. California truck that I just drove to New Hampshire 2 weeks ago. 3x locked OME suspension Front runner rack 295/75r16 KO2’s Under the hood brand new or rebuilt everything...

Ditch light bracket options. What do you have? Why did you choose it? Do you have a link? Post your pictures please.

Literally drove my 2019 570, six hours, to trade for a 2022 600. Both Luxury trims. I had great sorrow parting with my 570 until about 15 minutes into driving the 600 back home. While the two models share the same basic shape, the 600 is a complete redesign otherwise, and you quickly notice...

Does anyone have experience swapping their nav screen between two different model year LXs? I have a new-to-me 2010 LX with a yellow screen that I'd like to fix. I have access to a donor Nav screen from an '09 LX, although the UI is a tad different. The '09 has a nice dark UI, and the '10 is a...

Hi everyone, and welcome to my TED talk. 1993 FZJ80 @ 339k mi. TL;DR: I've had weird engine symptoms since I owned the truck in 2018 at 308k mi, generally involving random bouts of poor idling. Now the truck is having increasingly more frequent drops in RPM under throttle (in gear and...

Hey everyone, got a weird one. 2004 LC100 currently at 329k. 2 days ago it blew up with evap codes. I think there was one more above this (P0441?). I tried to do a search and came up with gas cap. Replaced mine 4 years ago (140k ago) so I will replace that with a new OEM shortly. Have not...

I believe anyone who owns or has owned and loved a LC100 has dreamed of getting a drawer system installed. There are many great options out there; ARB, AUGU, Dobinson's, Truck Vault, etc. If you are like me, and it would take an unreasonably long time to save up for one of these systems...

I wrote somewhere in this forum some time back that I will get back to an 80 and here I am, when I sold my previous one I thought I would move on, but I did not get enough. Found a gem, 1997: in good condition for the price, and most importantly it has a freshly rebuilt GEN 2 1FZ-FE equipped...

Hello! My name is Drew, I am new here. I am from the RURAL northwest corner of NY state in the US, about 600km northwest of the NY the world knows. ANYWAY. My wife and I like cars from Japan. We have had more than i can rattle off. She kept a JZS149 Majesta C Type, and I kept a CV20 Camry...

New to me 2006 LC with 213K miles, pick up in New Brunswick and drove back to Ontario. After owning 2 Defenders and tired of carrying more weight in extra coolant than passengers, I decided to try something new. Based on the 16 hr ride home I think I made the right decision. Everything works...
